Hikers discovered the skeletal remains of a man in Angeles National Forest on Sunday, but his identity still remains unknown, according to coroners officials.
The cause of his death was deferred while investigators wait for DNA testing results, Kades said.
An anthropologist must also examine the remains to determine his possible age and ethnicity, Kades said.

Very little information, including how they determined these remains belonged to a man. No description of clothing, if any, found with the remains. Investigators waiting for DNA testing results sounds like they might have an idea on who these remains belong to, but the article doesn't state they are awaiting confirmation of a possible or pending id. Maybe by dna they simply mean into the Codis or other databases to compare against all missing persons.
I wish the article gave more information.
Prayers said for those who are going to get the news this is their loved one.
This is a bit over 40 miles = 90 - 100 mi. round trip, avoiding LA area. I found another route, possibly a different side of the park that only takes a little over 31 mins = 70 mi. round trip. Adding extra mileage to find the "perfect" area. Doable in the timeframe given.
I pray an ID comes quickly.
